Bummed out

So my aunt is throwing me a baby shower in two weeks with all my family and friends. I invited my SD of course but she said she couldn't come because she'll be on vacation. I can't change the date because it's not my house it's my aunt's. I feel so bad.

Absolutely no reason to feel bad. You were thoughtful enough to extend an invite to want her included and hopefully that's what she will realize.
Enjoy your day, I'm sure sd will be enjoying her vacation :)

I can understand you being bummed that she can't be there. Maybe when she gets back or before she goes you guys can go out. Maybe go shopping for a gift for the baby that she picks out and lunch or a special dial treat, just the two of you?

The world doesn't revolve around the 15yo. She'll be on vacation, she won't feel left out because 'everyone else' didn't wait for your baby shower until SHE could attend. The focus is on you and your baby. The thought, the invite, is enough. Enjoy your baby shower with friends and family and simply be excited to hear all about SDs vacation once she returns.

Don't go looking for problems were there aren't any. Just enjoy this time!
